MECHANISM OF NATURE: this new science of... - Lot 143 - Giquello
MECHANISM OF NATURE: this new science of which one had no idea yet, shows the first cause of all the events of nature [...]. By the French Philosopher. Paris, of the Printing office in conformity with the pronunciation: street of the old garrisons n°5, near the crève, s.d. [circa 1780]. In-8, 474 pages, marbled calf, cold fillet, spine decorated (Binding of the time). Curious and rare work printed entirely with phonetic characters. The author, whose name is unknown to us, but who could perhaps be called De Lairas (cf. Quérard, Supercheries littéraires dévoilées, t. III, col. 118), exposes a system of the world which mixes physics, philosophy and politics; this "new science", he says, contains the principles of philosophy properly so called, it makes man know where he comes from, what he is and where he is going: it must form a general revolution in all human knowledge: and strike a mortal blow to the fanaticism of all the sects. Printed with typefaces "conforming to the pronunciation", the work is adorned with a folding plate. The publisher's notice is signed Stremon Morin. Not cited by Brunet, Les Fous littéraires, nor by Blavier. Restored binding.
